Tasmanian House of Fibre

Feel like trying something new and exciting?

Try our new blends of Suri, Silk (this could be Tussah Silk, Soy Silk or Mermaid Silk) and Merino of many colours.

The Suri content is from our high quality Suri’s raised on our farm here at Mount Roland Alpaca’s.

We also have blends of Alpaca , Silk and Merino of many colours, the Alpaca fleece is also from our Alpacas on our farm, you will notice that these blends are named after an Alpaca that has the same coloured fleece used in the blend.

We have trial spun these blends and we feel that you will love them, the colours are amazing and they are selling fast.

If you would prefer the natural colours of Alpaca I have tops/rovings of Australian and Tasmanian grown Alpaca

We are currently stocking ‘The Sonata’, a beautiful compact folding wheel that has a classic style design, it is a full size spinning wheel that packs away easily into a custom made carry bag.

The Fantasia is a sweet little upright wheel with a modern design, both wheels have the double pedals of course.

The November Batt reminds me of chocolatte, it is a mix of Suri, Soy Silk and Merino.

The colours are Chocolatte, Mocha, golden Soy Silk and brown Suri.

Unfortunately I forgot to take photos but the good thing is I have now added this combination to my blended Tops so here is a photo of them.

This Batt is a little unusual, it is made up of fine Tasmanian Merino 17.5 micron to which has been added white Angora Bunny from Icey and cat hair donated by Sheba.

A beautiful soft combination of Fibres

Please send a photo of your Batt after it has been spun as I’m sure Sheba’s owner would be interested.

I’m a bit late getting the photo’s up this month, sorry about that.

Anyway, everyone should have their cute little batts by now.

This month we had a sweet little batt that reflected some of the fresh spring colours, this Fibre club Batt was a blend of fine hand dyed Merino with Hand dyed Baby Leicester Curls scattered throughout.

Hope you like it, I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out, so send me some Pics.

The July batt is a batt made in memory of Hayley.

These beautiful silky Batts are Suri, Silk and Merino. The Suri fibre came from our Suri male Baarrooka Simply Red, his fleece is incredibly soft and silky.
